Selena Gomez slams Justin Bieber for defending Sofia Richie


Sass queen Selena Gomez has blasted Justin Bieber for threatening to change his Instagram account to "private", after fans trolled his new rumoured girlfriend Sofia Richie.

Biebs wrote: "I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like," alongside a photo of him and Sofia.

This didn't sit so well with Justin's ex, Selena, who accused Justin of cheating on her during their relationship.

"Funny how the ones that cheated multiple times, are pointing the finger at the ones that were forgiving and supportive, no wonder fans are mad. Sad. All Love," she wrote on Instagram.

The Kill 'Em With Kindness singer also took it upon herself to dish out a few words of wisdom to The Biebs about his new flame.

"If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol - it should be special between you two only," she wrote.

"Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you."

Touché, Miss Gomez!

But it was Justin who had the last word,

"It's funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love," he reportedly wrote.

"I'm not one for anyone receiving hate. Hope u all can be kind to my friends and each other. And yes I love my beliebers."

Can't we all just play nice?!

Justin, 22, and Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia, 17, have been friends for some time and are believed to be dating.

New photos of the pair were taken as they travelled in Japan together, and they were spotted holding hands.
